Whenever they start talking about polls, they always bring up Kalshi these days. Sometimes they even highlight Kalshi’s predictions as if they are as legit as actual scientifically-based polls, which they are not. Prediction markets are based totally on vibes, and have no place being discussed on a legitimate news platform.
Wouldn’t be surprised if people are buying/selling in order to shape the narrative around debates and news, if you have enough money you can kill/boost stories by deciding what “the markets” care about.
